Next MD Cover: Cedric McMillan - Armed & Dangerous

 

Cedric McMillan has been hovering over the bodybuilding landscape for years, like a presence from a higher authority with a message for his fellow competitors: control your guts if bodybuilding is going to return to the days of aesthetically pleasing physiques like we saw in the golden era of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lou Ferrigno, Frank Zane and Sergio Oliva.

Can Cedric bring back bodybuilding’s golden era? At 6’ 1” the 39-year-old packs 290 pounds of proportionate and flowing aesthetic muscle on his frame. Due to his structure, trim waist and small hips, comparisons have been made to Lee Haney and to Arnold Schwarzenegger. When he first saw Cedric’s physique a few years ago, Haney said, “I was like…what in the world? What a breath of fresh air.”


Cedric became a poster boy for a return to past values by no less a figure than Schwarzenegger, who stated at the 2015 Arnold Classic that fourth-placed Cedric was what a bodybuilder should look like. Last March, Cedric won the Arnold Classic – the most prestigious title of his career - and became one of the most popular bodybuilders in the world.

Check out this month: Peter McGough’s classic report on Cedric!

Brandon Curry shocked the bodybuilding industry with the bigger more ripped package he unveiled at this year’s New Zealand Pro and Arnold Classic Australia. At 246 pounds and with incredible shape and structure, Brandon was in better condition than he’d displayed since winning the 2008 NPC USA Championships nearly nine years prior. In “Extra Curry: How Brandon Added 25 Pounds of Muscle in 3 months and Won 2 Shows” this month, Brandon talks about the astounding improvements he made, an achievement that’s unheard of for 34-year-old man who has already been training for 15 years.
